    AM2 is the ignition switch and start control.

    This reminds me of when I used to download porn on my parents computer and I would type deleted *.* instead of deltree and I would delete config.sys and autoexec.bat. anyone who knows what I'm talking about is old.

    Ruh Roh! AM2 feeds injectors, ignition coils, and starter. I hope you didn't buy an ECU because of a blown fuse.

    Something tells me the resync process was not completed.

    Did your dash light up light a blinking christmas tree? Did you leave the two pins jumper'd for AT LEAST 30:00 or more?

    Maybe it didn't resync because the blown fuse prevented ignition power getting to ________________.

    So, now in hindsight, was the blown fuse the only problem?
